Cam Thomas my 🐐

If they can trade Cam Thomas for a first, you do it. You're a disaster, get the future first and keep the retool going.
I'm glad someone mentioned that the Antoine Walker environment isn't good for Cam Thomas, too much freedom messed with him as well.
without the stupid second apron Cam Johnson and DFS might both be gone already
I'm all for the Nets keeping Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton. Good young players that won't get in the way of tanking, they are pieces to a puzzle that can take any shape. If they want to tank/rebuild cool, if they want to sign FA next summer and compete also cool. They fit both team building formats.
Thanks for the shoutout, Dan! Great episode.
